The Maverick Scout was designed as a camp knife but its style and size make it a great knife for a variety of uses. The simple design, which features a drop point blade, makes it handy for cutting tie-down rope, slicing meat or many other light to medium-sized camp chores. It also works well as a hunting knife for large-sized game animals and as a general purpose bushcraft knife. The Maverick Scout features a long handle for those with larger hands and allows for a better grip when wearing gloves. This knife is a solid performer that will not let you down. The Maverick Scout is a lot of knife for the money!
